You they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion Even a criminal one day must get caught Shot up or down with the bullet that he bought Nine kickin' thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they never peace in the black community All we know is violence, do the job in Walk the city like a rat pack of tyrants Too many daily heading for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off then when went in Over the years I done a lot of up drunk thrown' up up Then I I had enough There be another route, way out To and fame, I changed my name And played a different Tired of being trapped in vicious cycle If one more cop me I just might go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em the bum rush Only a would like to see his skull crushed Yo, if your smart you'll let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and the Uzi got me trapped
(Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) They got me (Naw, they can't the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) (Naw, they keep the black man down)
They got me Can barely walk the city a cop harassing me, searching me Then asking my up, throw me up against the wall Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day suckers gotta fall Cuffed up throw me on the try to kill me But they know this was the wrong street Bang bang, down casualty But it's a cop who's there's brutality Who do you It's a because the mans slain He got caught in the of his own game How can I feel guilty all the things they did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm gonna Blow up on this Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't find a of equality Work me a slave while they laid back Homie play that It's I lett 'em suffer the payback I'm tryin' to physical contact I can't hold back, it's to attack jack They got me
(Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) They got me (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they keep the black man down) (Naw, they keep the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to a getaway All I need is a 'G' and safe to stay Can't use the I'm sure someone is tappin' in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look back at hindsight the fight was But now the devils friend Too to be tellin' him He shot first and I'll be damned if I run is done away I should of put my gun away I wasn't all I heard was the ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup "Damn homies is dissin' you" I my weapon steppin' in the hurricane I got shot so I Feelin' a burst of Got to my Couldn't see but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a Ran an alley Still for my getaway said Freeze, or you'll be dead today Trapped in a and I couldn't see the light Thoughts in my was the nine and a better life do I do? Live my life in a prison I'd rather die then be trapped in a hell They got me
